Good news for the GOG version :

Hey all,

It was supposed to be live for you guys right now, but we're having a bit of trouble uploading the build to the servers. We've got crappy internet here and there seems to be a bottleneck on the other side too. We'll get it up for you guys tomorrow for Mac and hopefully Linux too, but definitely in the next few days.

I will look at that list and see if I'm interested in some games. I'm sure I will.
Right now I bought MidBoss, Haque and donated some $ to Timbertales (I really hope It will have more sales in the future).

Quoting: saclautaaI wonder how long Apple will keep trying to get away with the crap they've been pulling in recent years. First removing every port under the sun from their devices, now removing support for the most widely used graphics APIs... It's like they don't want customers anymore.
They want customers. They want customers who use peripherals that only plug into apple devices. They want customers that use programs runnable only through apple APIs. They want customers who cannot migrate away to competition.
True, hopefully people begin to see through their bullshit and migrate before it's too late.
I would like to agree with you, but I'm too pessimistic... It's pretty the same with the Microsoft/Windows environment and I only see few people drop that for Linux. The majority still stay on it... I think most of people won't see it before it's too late, unfortunately. :(

Wow, what a day. :huh:
With this news, we'll see soon or later what devs will continue to support us (Vulkan move) and what devs won't.
It might be interesting... support Linux because it can brings more customers or because It's a Free/Libre OS?
I'm a bit afraid that we can loose some devs/porters. So wait & see...

Could never make these games work on Linux.
I bought Flatout 2 recently and yeah the GOG launcher is broken on my System.
The desktop shortcut and the sh file, it just launch a black screen 2 seconds and back to normal.
But it works if I execute directly the .exe in their Wine prefix. No issues in-game.

It's time to begin your descent, as the six-degree-of-freedom shooter 'Overload' is now out

About the lack of GOG release, the dev' said that on Steam :

Not yet; we ran into an issue, and they have a holiday today so we are having trouble resolving it. Not a set ETA; hoping by tomorrow...
